CD Rom Problems

I have just built a new PC, but I am using an older CD ROM. It worked with the CD I used to set up the Hard Drive. I then put in Mandrake 10.0 CD1 and it starts the install, but when it tries to find the image on the drive, it fails. It keeps trying, but I see these errors: 0x51 and 0x54. It is a 7 year old Compaq CR588 drive.

I have used these ISOs to install on another machine, so I know they are good.

Is there some option I need to choose during the install, or do I need a newer drive. Thanks.
